Final reminder: UAF protest against BNP conference in Blackpool, Saturday 25 November

North West Region UAF together with Blackpool Fylde and Wyre TUC have called a demonstration against the British National Party holding a Conference in Blackpool. UAF is supporting this call for a protest and are asking all members and supporters in the North, North West and Yorkshire Areas to mobilise and attend this protest.

The fascist BNP has announced that they are planning a conference on the weekend of 25 and 26 November in Blackpool. The BNP has not announced the venue and local people including the Leader of the council, hotels, trade unions, NUS and students and anti-fascist groups have condemned the BNP for attempting to hold their conference in Blackpool.

We must show that there is large united opposition to the BNP and ensure that Blackpool is Fascist free zone. Following the recent court trial in Leeds we must show our opposition to the BNP and their politics of race hate and division. There will be a rally with speakers held followed by mass leafleting of the shopping centre.

Join the protest on Saturday 25th November 2006

Assemble at 12.00 noon
Meet in the square at the top of Victoria Street (near side entrance to Winter Gardens, Blackpool)

Speakers include:

Weyman Bennett: Joint Secretary UAF
Ruquayyah Collector: Black Students' Officer NUS
Alec McFadden: North West TUC
Cllr Michael Lavalette: Preston Respect
Pete Marsden: Blackpool Unison
Mark Barker: Vice-Chair Regional PCS
Paul Jenkins: Barrow and South Cumbria UAF

A map that clearly shows the location (marked by an asterisk) is here  http://82.69.12.18/lancasteruafblog/media/1/mapofdemolocation.jpg and if we discover the location of the BNP conference, we will relocate the demo on the day.

Directions: For drivers, the best way is to park up in the Hounds Hill shopping centre multi-storey car park, go out through the shopping centre and you're in Victoria Street. Turn right and the demo is a fifty metre stroll.

Please contact Unite to add the support of your trade union or community organisation to the protest call. Please encourage trade unions and community groups to bring banners. please help to arrange transport to get people along to this protest from your area.
